Flip lines to form a diamond in python 3 -

the idea of code enter height , form diamond asterisks (stars).

eg. if input height 6, i'd want code produce:

************ *****  ***** ****    **** ***      *** **        ** *          * **        ** ***      *** ****    **** *****  ***** ************ 

i've gotten top half far , wondering if possible 'flip' lines horizontally.

height = int(input('enter triangle height: ')) star = height while star >= 1:     = int(star)*'*'     b = int(2*height-2*star)*' '     c = (height-star)*''     d = star*'*'     print(a, b,c,d,sep='')     star = star - 1 star = height while star >= 2:     = int(star)     b = int(2*height-2*star)     c = int((height-star))     d = int(star)     print(a*'*', b*' ',c*'',d*'*',sep='')     star = star - 1` 

change second while loop check if star <= height, , increment star 2.

so like

star = 2 while star <= height:     = int(star)     b = int(2*height-2*star)     c = int((height-star))     d = int(star)     print(a*'*', b*' ',c*'',d*'*',sep='')     star = star + 1 

this because want go "small" "large" need inverse of first while loop decrements amount of *'s.
